The awarded Provider will be responsible for proactively seeking media opportunities, serving as a liaison to internal and external interests, and executing the communications strategy. The contract will be for an initial 3-year term, with the possibility of up to three 1-year renewals. Proposals are due by January 24, 2024 at 11:00 AM, and a single award will be made to the responsive, responsible Respondent offering the most advantageous proposal. The cost proposal is worth 20 points and 20% of the overall evaluation, and Respondents must provide pricing for the initial 3-year term as well as each potential renewal year.

The current incumbent is The Moore Agency, and the budget for these services is $60,000. The RFP states that prioritization will be given to organizations based within a two-hour drive time to Tallahassee, Florida, which is the capital city of the state and located in Leon County. No subcontractors may be used without prior approval.
